me and my cousin where talking on what i should do with my car for performance reasons. Is it possible to get the 2.4 valve timing on the 2.2? i know with hondas it is not sure with Ecotecs. Also how hard would it be to swap the 2.4 into a ls instead of building my 2.2?

 

waste of time to swap the motor, youd be better off just finding a 2.4 and trading in your 2.2.

and for future refrence, Honda's V-tec, and Gm's VVT-I are not even close to the same

 

is it a waste,probly not,what happens if he finds a motor at a good price,nevertheless,just hang tough and there will be some FI options soon.

 

Ok thanks for that i don't know much about VVTI i might just wait to see if/when the turbo cobalt comes out

 

if you have a manual car you have tuning, if you have an auto like me you have everything but tuning. but if you have an 07 like me youll have tuning very shortly.

 

I have an 06 manual 2.2 so there is tuning for it now?

 

yes there is, The garret alpha turbo kit now comes with a SCT livewire tune, so you can turbo

 

Nice thats great news =)

 

hell yea man, lol im still waiting for hp tuners to get off their asses then im contemplating turboing

 

you need to change your sig to show that sweet new front end you have.LOL!!

 

yeah its a dam shame.. considering that gm invented v-tec but never got it to work so they sold the patten to honda... but gm was going to applicate it to v8's create more horse power under heaver loads...

so yeah useless info of the day

 

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge sig lol.

 

 

haha ill have to see if anyone on this site can make me a new sig

 

theres some thread,i think its vic ramano,he does the sigs around here.

 

ill check it out, haha thanks for the message too, i was at work and forgot to reply when i got home.

btw mike you have an amazing g5, **** id trade you in a second, i wish i had more performance but i love my car as it stands now also

 

correct, honda's Vtec is electronicly controlld. GMS VVT is mechanicaly controlled,

but if you really wanted to do the swap you would need the wiring harrness, the engine, the ECU and the trany controller

 

If I decide to tame down this sc build i might be looking for stock cams

disreguard your 2.2 these are 2.4

 

lol yea i was gonna say that wouldnt work too well. If i ever find the funds ill be building my own engine up, turbo build but thats a ton of money, only parts tho because i know how to do a lot of the instal myself and my dad would help

thanks a lot tho dude.

 

why is it that automatic 07's will have tuning shortly?
I'm in the same boat as you moza, i'm just a little behind, i've got a CAI and stuff and i'm about to get the g5 body kit with the "chevy" g5 front bumper lol, and i'm puttin some 17 inch axis reverbs.
We'll be twins
and we'll race to see who does F/I first.....lol
